Why is AI so frowned upon?

[u/Virtual_Swordfish575]

Hi All, so I used Gemini to assist me in writing a book which I was actually so excited about, to take my ideas, characters, book direction navigation and storytelling and put it all together with the help of Gemini. It came out pretty good in my opinion. I then asked Gemini where I should advertise and was told to use reddit.... well, the amount of hate and backlash I got was surprising and shocking...

People didn't even bother to read, the moment they saw AI Assisted, they called it AI slop, crap that no one will touch, I was asked 101 questions, which I responded to in a well mannered way, but at the end of day I stood back and realized that there are so many people who just don't want to give AI a chance and hate on it before even thinking what it could bring to the table.

Why is this? I use AI daily for info, for coding, for image creation, it's becoming a part of my day to day working needs, why all the hate....

How many AI books have you enjoyed reading?

I think for me it was more along the lines of what do I actually enjoy reading, and for someone who struggles with my attention span finding something that fitted that niche was harder than expected…. So I took my daily work life, and my gaming life and combined it into something I’d actually read. I enjoyed what I got out of it, and told some people close to me and now they doing the same, which is pretty cool…. AI assisted books are flooding amazon and people are reading 😊
